What did you do to your stereo rig today?

CS is some good listening. Wish we had that in common when you were down.

CS's "the Traveler" album won a ton of awards when it came out.
I heard him sing and play during those award shows, liked it, and still want to get that CD for sure. I'm sure the others are just as nice. Talented fellow, he is! 
Song-writer extraordinaire! Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
Vince Gill is not shabby either. He is a great guitar player."Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"

Vince Gill is an extremely talented musician. Getting his start way back with Pure Prairie League.
At one time he was invited to join a little group called Dire Straits, but declined so he could continue his Solo Career, although he did set in on their final Studio Recording of 'On Every Street'.
He is the second guitar on 'Fade to Black' and 'You and your Friend' amount others.

well, that's remarkable -- I mean, given that they were a bunch of Brits, bad dentition and all...

Mark Knopfler definitely has good taste -- he had Ruth Moody with him on at least one tour I loves me some Ruth Moody.
He (Gill) is a heck of a guitarist and an entertaining performer overall.

I guess seeing and hearing Gills reasons as to why he didn't join the group might tell the story.

And yes, Ruth Moody has the voice of an Angel. 'Wherever I Go' is probably my favorite track on 'Tracker'

Ruth Moody coming round in my neck of the woods on March 12 - definitely attending.
-
Her singing can reduce me to tears; listen to her soar as she pines "Calling all angels" near the end of the Wailin Jennys version of Jane Siberry's Calling All Angels on Live at Mauch Chunk Opera House. I am getting chills just typing this.
Ahem on topic -- the aforementioned Jennys' album sounds really good, too. Your hifi will thank you for playing it.

Never knew Chris Stapleton until I heard him on the speakers at a bar while I was eating pizza. I heard something about "Tenesssee Whisky and Strawberry wine", so I looked it up on the phone while I was there 'cuz I really dug the song....or what I could hear of it. Daggum place was noisy!
Went home and played all CS songs on Tidal and got to liking his style and voice. Liked him so much, I bought three of his albums right off the bat. Glad I did.
Tom
Thanks for sharing. I did not hear about Chris Stapleton either till I saw your post. And like you, I really liked his voice and music.

Tom~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~ -
Today I changed up my main system. Moved it to a different wall, swapped the passive pre for a 6H30 class A linestage, setup only the Clearaudio table with the EAR 834P and the Auralic Altair music server. Makes for a cleaner system. Dialed in the subs and life is good.
-
Sweet. Are those your Altec/JBL speakers? If so, I believe I have the same JBL 2235h LF drivers and would appreciate a photo of the speakers with the grills off. Thanks.

Mounted the TT to the wall, finally! Took some time to get it level.
With the monitor in place I can manage audio on the hard drive connected to the Oppo and more easily manage SACD/DVD-A. It was just a guessing game with those previously.

In the past week I replaced eight receptacles in the Stereo Room with some Hubbell 5261 Industrial Grade
These aren't "Crazy" money, but a very good upgrade. They have a grip that only a man can appreciate.
Also, after a month long break-in on a new DAC, I popped the top and rolled in a sweet little 12AU7 Holland Bugle Boy. Life is good.

Fabricated some new, larger gauge, shorter ribbon speaker cables (4N copper, 14 gauge, 5 ft long). Even better detail and imaging and the bass is tighter and punchier. I'm thinking of selling these in the future but don't know for sure if people want to pay less for cables that might not be quite as good eye candy-wise, but with as good or better performance than commercially made ones.Post edited by Gardenstater onGeorge / NJ

Playing around with pieces for garage rig. The Pioneer SX- N30 was in the living room, now replaced by the Peachtree. So what to do with this guy? Well it turns out it can be used as a pre-amp! Hooked up to the CJ amp right now, doing some testing. Running the 1C’s. Well I’m liking @joecoulson Linn mono’s even more as they can be turned on automatically when detecting a signal. I need a remote for the garage rig as I don’t want to be walking back and forth navigating through my junk to the back wall turning every thing on/off. Lazy, yes!

Streaming Tidal from my phone via BT to the Pioneer. And the Pioneer has LFE sub output! I’ve got a spare SVS PB 1000 just wanting to be utilized! My garage rig is coming together!

I need to do what you are doing, Dave. I have enough gear leftover to build a secondary rig and it's all just sitting there scattered throughout the house and shop. Time to start whippin' that stuff together!

For sure Tom! I love my secondary rig down in the basement cause it lets me play around and not have to tear up the big rig. Now that I have a furnace in the garage, this looks to be a winter project!
